This is only going to hurt the Jets, they're winning at most four gmaes this year, likely not much more the next couple years, need cap space and draft picks to rebuild. WHY would they do this trade?
Seattle already sucks at WR so I don't see this hurting them much, and it gives them great cap relief. Even though Harvin shined in the SB it's not like they really needed him in that game.
blame wilson. seattle have the last ranked passing attack.
Absolutely. SB win = ROI
Seattle's biggest mistake wasn't trading for Harvin and then cutting him loose after such little return.
Seattle's mistake was not making this move last summer, and using the money to resign Golden Tate.
Everyone says this opens up money for Wilson, that money though is already open long-term. This move allows Seattle to resign Bobby Wagner (who before last week, was probably the best linebacker in football in 2014).
In Seattle's two losses, Marshawn Lynch has run the ball 16 times. Expect the Seahawks to go back to the run big time.
Go look at Idzik's drafting and the Jets' $20+million in cap space. This trade didn't cost the Jets anything.
so 2 teams have dumped him in his prime? Says a lot about him...will fit in well vs jets
And fighting with Tate last year and almost Wilson? Hilarious
I understand your point but I think we're valuing Harvin alot differently here. The malcontent portion of it probably means nothing to the Jets but even then the guy hasn't produced consistently to be worth near his cap cost. Injuries are a concern too. Just because you have the space doesn't mean you just toss away ten mill on someone as unreliable as Harvin.

The Jets have a ton of cap space. What they need are players worth spending money on. In Harvin, they got a guy who, while overpaid, doesn't limit their flexibility at all since he causes no dead money if/when they cut him. .
Russel Wilson, he of the 99.7 quarterback rating?
His production is fine. His availability is a different issue.
Look at it this way: 22 catches on 26 targets
Admittedly, I didn't see this portion of his contract structure. If they can part with his contract at any point without consequence/dead money that's understandable
Can't criticize the Jets too much (even though it's fun to do it) since they have no WR outside of Decker. If they can restructure his contract, could work out for them.

His catch rate should be very high, since most of his targets are very short passes. Hell, last week he had 3 catches for 0 yards.
I just don't think the Seahawks ever really figured out how to integrate him into their offense. Almost every impact play he made for them on offense came on a jet sweep, and after the SB and week 1 of this season, every defense came prepared for it. He's never been an especially polished receiver, but he isnt't that that. I expect the Jets will try to use him in ways that the Seahawks never really did.

Paying a mid-round draft hurts, but I can understand why they decided it was worth it. Assets worth having are rarely free. If I'm the Jets, I would rather pay a fourth rounder and have the contract that they now have him on than sign him in UFA for the contract he got last year from the Seahawks.
